MythTV 0.9 is now available.

UI makeover, mainly by John Danner. Just look at the screenshots page for details on this.

Better automatic commercial detection/skipping by Chris Pinkham.

Support for closed captioning by Lonnie Hutchinson.

More flexible TV OSD design.

Support for the hardware mpeg encoder cards supported by the ivtv driver (mainly, the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 and -350). Please note that the ivtv driver has not been officially released yet, and is still sort of buggy -- it randomly stops capturing, and can lock your system up. Please direct bug reports to the ivtv-devel list instead of the mythtv lists. Also, please note that the hardware decoder on the PVR-350 is not supported by the ivtv driver yet.
